As you research, visit this page often to help you through the The Information Process:

  • Define exactly what information you are looking for before you use the pathfinder resources.

  • Read the summaries to decide on which resource will help you locate the information you need.

  • Use Kathy Shrock's 5 W's of Web Site Evaluation to help you select credible information.

  • Ask yourself how you can combine your information to organise what you have learnt.

  • How will you present your information? You may like to present it on a wiki or make a movie!

  • Assess what you have learnt from using this pathfinder.

  • Think critically (question and think carefully) about the information you are reading.

  • Can you transfer the information literacy skills you have developed while studying rainforests to the next research topic you explore?
